If you rely on special testing to differentially diagnose the shoulder...

You might run into trouble.

I used to rely too much on special testing...

Which makes no sense...

As the majority of shoulder special tests are so poor!

There is no logical reason as to why as a profession we keep using these shoulder tests...

And why they continue to be taught at Uni!

I approach my shoulder pain assessments in a completely different way.

Listen to this week's podcast to learn how I (and you should) assess the shoulder instead!

Enjoy the show!
